Before we dig in Haverfordwest
Before digging near the kerb in Haverfordwest we establish who owns the ground: adopted footways are Pembrokeshire County Council's responsibility, trunk roads the Welsh Government's, and everything else belongs to the site owner.
If your site in Haverfordwest is listed or inside a conservation area, check with the local planning authority (Pembrokeshire County Council) before choosing a finish — heritage settings often favour cast iron or painted steel over stainless.
Clay soils hold water, so a telescopic or semi-automatic cassette there needs a proper soakaway or a connection to a surface water drain, never the foul drain. Domestic drives hide more than people expect.
- In conservation areas or at listed buildings, check with the local planning authority before fitting visible posts.
- If the drive is shared or has a right of way over it, agree positions with the neighbour first.
How the job runs
Free home survey
We look at your drive, how and where you park, the surface and what might be under it, such as the water pipe or a gas service. You receive a fixed written quote with the post type and position marked.
Mark the position
The position is marked with the car in place, so we can check it blocks the car and that you can still open doors and walk past.
Make good and show you
The surface is reinstated and cleaned. We show you how to lock, lower and raise the post and hand over the keys.
Finishes and options
| Option | Detail |
|---|---|
| Telescopic posts | Retract into a cassette with a flush lid when lowered. Tidy and secure, but need depth and drainage under the drive. |
| Fold-down posts | Hinged posts bolted down with resin anchors. Quick to fit and no digging, but need a solid base to fix into. |
| Keyed-alike locks | Two posts or more can be supplied so one key opens both, which helps households with several cars. |
